=========================
During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden announced he will force gun owners of “assault weapons” to either sell their weapons to the government or register them under the National Firearms Act.

According to Joe Biden’s plan in order to register a firearm, you have to fill out a complicated 13-page application form and include a $200 gun tax for each firearm you own.

Your fingerprints and a photograph of yourself will be required on the form.

This will be a difficult program to enact for the Biden regime. In 2020 a record number of Americans bought guns. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation 8.4 million people bought a gun for the first time in 2020.

Townhall reported:

Joe Biden would force semiautomatic rifle owners to either participate in a gun buyback program, or register their firearm under the National Firearms Act, which requires the payment of a $200 tax. This would extend to AR-15s and other common household rifles. Those who do not comply would face up to 10 years in federal prison, and a potential $10,000 fine.
This is yet another violation of Joe Biden’s pledge against any tax increase on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. In fact, it would hit working class Americans the hardest.
As detailed on Biden’s campaign website, this proposal would give semiautomatic rifle and high capacity magazine owners two choices: participating in a gun buyback program or registering said guns and magazines under the National Firearms Act. This triggers the $200 tax for each gun and magazine registered.
In order to register a firearm (or a magazine, under Joe Biden’s plan), you have to send in a 13-page, complicated application form with the $200 tax included, your fingerprints, and a photograph of yourself. In this way, the hurdles to legally own your weapon or high-capacity magazine go far beyond the expensive tax.

There's also apparently some sort of law prohibiting the ATF from creating a database (don't remember it exactly); but don't expect anyone to put up a fight against this bullshit.

Even being left myself, just no. Even down to calling weapons assault rifles, because you have to reload every single bullet This is the shit that puts egg on my face when I reassured right leaning folks it's all talk. Maybe this time it's not.

Actually there is a number of pro-gun leftists out there. Some are weird tankie types but at least they're not completely cucked.

If you're making weapons, in minecraft that is, you should use diamond.

I promise you my local PD (and those like mine) won't play along. It would cost them their guns, too. People around here have dozens of guns per household. I've got more shotguns than I have fingers and toes and enough pistols to arm a public school class in an overcrowded district.

And my collection is at the lower end of the scale. My neighbor has his house configured so that he literally (not figuratively) can take three steps in any direction in any room and have a firearm.

This idea of Biden's is not going to work.

that'll work right up until the mayor and city council get a letter from the feds saying they're pulling funding for xyz projects. And since it's biden and not trump, there won't be any federal judges to block such measures. Money talks.

That was FOPA in 86, which was a good bill until the Hughes Amendment got added to it. Part of the reason that Waco and Ruby Ridge happened was that the ATF was trying to justify their existence by going after 'dangerous extremists' after they were restricted from trying to harass FFLs out of existence which is what they'd been spending most of their time doing after the 1968 GCA.

I fully expect the GOP + Manchin to kill this in the senate at the very least, if it even gets that far. Stuff like this isn't meant to pass, it's meant to show the Democrat base that Biden is trying to live up to his campaign promises or some crap. The actual thing to be worried about is the possibility of a watered down version of this bill(federal background checks and a 100 dollar tax, for example)being passed instead.


Executive orders are not some sort of magical "The president gets to do whatever he wants" trick. They can be and sometimes are struck down by the courts.

There are lots of ways to bend laws. Saying semi automatics are default easy to convert to full auto is one. It’s what they did with open bolt firearms to make them illegal.

I'm all for gun registration being mandated by the law, but why not make it free?

My small town mayor might surprise you.

This kind of thing is how you get a civil war, by failing to follow Rule 1 of Command.
Never give an order that will not be followed.
The reason is simple; once they overcome the threshold to disobey an order, they start doing it for every order and command authority collapses.

Sure, one little mayor seems like a small deal when they declare that X federal rule will not be followed; masks, guns, whatever. But it puts the Feds in a fix, either they do nothing and let their authority slowly erode and the country balkanize OR they crack down to try and make the mayor bend the knee.

What happens when the mayor doesn't bend? When the city council refuses to remove him, when the local PD and citizens rally around him, and the Feds end up arresting half a township for one little mayor standing up for his town? Well, done and dusted, right? CNN will call them all terrorists, the FBI office gets a commendation, and it's settled, right?

Wrong. The underlying command authority has not been restored, the arrested people are now martyrs, and trust is damaged. This sets the stage for another conflict, maybe even a larger one in a bigger city. And eventually, if the rift is not repaired (which the current power structure seems to have no interest in) the conflict will eventually rise to a governor telling DC to sit and spin.

That will be the real fireworks, I tell you. When a state's governor stands up and tells the Feds to fuck off with the support of his constituents then we are past the point of no return. The local FBI or Federal marshals might be sent to arrest the governor, and in response state authorities will be instructed to escort every Fedboi to the border. You better hope the local PD and state troopers are able to do that without firing a shot. Though if the shooting doesn't start there, it'll likely really kick off at any local military or NG bases. Assuming that they don't flip to support the Governor when this goes down.

Any way you slice it, this all starts with the political elite forgetting that all their power and authority derives ultimately from the consent of the governed. They have departed too far, and have sown the whirlwind.

George Wallace stood aside when it came time and he had a ton of support.

George Wallace stood aside when it came time and he had a ton of support.

He also was able to continue in politics after he stood aside, and he knew he had an escape route that saved face. The current political climate is less forgiving now, and the Establishment won't give any outs. The Uniparty is backing everyone into a corner, and in denial to the danger of doing so.

The ATF was trying to justify their existence and hugh budget and Waco was them trying to save face after the total pooch-screw that was Ruby Ridge, but the whole "getting tough on right-wing extremists" thing was all on the Clinton administration and that man-hag Janet Reno. Hilary and Reno had been putting a lot of pressure on Slick Willy to "get tough on militia types and Christian extremists" until he finally caved and let Reno off her leash. My old man was an INS agent (before they merged with Customs Enforcement and became ICE) and in the early 90s they modernized their equipment and had to trade in their Smith and Wesson 686 .357 Magnums for Beretta 96 D Brigadiers (basically the Beretta 92/M9 in .40 S&W with heavier slides, barrels that were flush with the front of the slide, and double action only with bobbed hammers). All those perfectly serviceable wheel guns ended up getting melted down for paper clips because Reno forbade an agent buy back to avoid formerly federal issued sidearms from "finding their way on the streets" and to prevent "agents with extreme right-wing views" from being armed privately by the government. Really pissed my old man off because he loved his 686 and wanted to buy it to keep, along with all the other agents in his office.

I'm all for gun registration being mandated by the law, but why not make it free?

The Second Amendment is all the registration any law abiding US citizen needs. The private ownership of firearms in the US is a right, not a privilege, and any form of gun control or restrictions on ownership is an infringement upon that right. Its not a difficult concept to understand.

 

[Snekposter]

I'm sorry, but I have to rate you horrifying just because of what Reno did to those poor wheelguns.
